What time do you make it into the fest?

Re: What time do you make it into the fest?

Usually sometime between the first two options. If there is someone I want to see playing first thing then I try to get there in time for opening but I'm bad at judging traffic so I usually fuck it up.

Yeah. Wanted to make it more complete allowing for multiple answers taking into account camping vs driving to the fest, but I'm at work and they only allow 5minutes to set the poll up apparently. Curious... do you drive in or camp?

Get some SPF 100 and you're good to go!
This the only reason I could really understand as to why someone would go in late afternoon. But still... so many acts will be missed! I could never do that.

I'm hella tan, i'm not worried about getting sunburnt cause I don't really burn, I just glow haha. But in 2012 it was just sooo hot i was glued to the grass for hours just enjoying the misters in our campsite I didn't care if I missed anybody. Stupid I know, but it was 100+ degrees!!

I try to arrive earlier, but the hotel shuttles don't allow one to get to the drop off point, walk to the grounds, and get through security before 1:30ish. Here's hoping The Preatures don't play until 2.

I don't understand why anyone would...

Far be it from me to tell others how to spend (waste) their money, but paying $350 / $375 to JUST see the headliners is pretty fucking stupid. Way too much money to see three acts you can likely see somewhere else for a lot cheaper.

Re: What time do you make it into the fest?

I go whenever there is someone I want to see. It's usually no later than 3 ish. Sometimes I find that I spend a lot of time in the parking lot getting drunk meeting random people. While this is fun, I can be easily distracted and miss the gig I'm trying to see.

Re: What time do you make it into the fest?

I usually tell myself I'm going to save my energy and wait until the late afternoon/early evening when the first band I really want to see is playing. Then I get overexcited and bored of waiting, and I'm there by noon milling around in the blazing heat.
